Rated 3 out of 5 by from Too much zest As others have said, the ratio of lemon is a bit much. I made mine with 4 lemons as per the recipe, and while the acidity didn’t bother me too much, the amount of zest did. While it gives a strong lemon flavour, it also leaves a bitter aftertaste. I will make this again however I’ll opt to use the juice of 3 but perhaps the zest of two.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious Tart Great recipe. Turned out great. I think the mistake some people make is that they use evaporated milk rather than condensed, which would make the tart filling, runny, sugar free and far too sharp.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Lemonlicious This super easy recipe is a pleasure to make and eat. Lemon tart is delicious and a winner everyone likes it. Served with a few sliced strawberries on the side gives it that restaurant look .

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Delicious and super easy I made this and it was the easiest thing to do with the tastiest results. The tart is really sharp with a lovely smooth texture. I'd definitely make it again.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from VERY EASY Just made this...used the zest of 4 lemons but, because they were so big, I only used the juice from 2. The filling set but cracked when it came out of the oven - no problem, just going to sprinkle it with icing sugar before I serve it :-) Anyway, who needs a "perfect" pie, it's got to look homemade in my book and not something that I picked off the shelf in the supermarket! Can't wait to see what it tastes like.
